Abstract

Human-to-human transmission of PA I38 mutant influenza A(H3N2) viruses with reduced baloxavir susceptibility has been reported in Japan. In December 2019, we detected a PA E23K mutant A(H1N1)pdm09 virus from a child without baloxavir treatment. The PA E23K mutant virus exhibited reduced baloxavir susceptibility but remained susceptible to neuraminidase inhibitors. Epidemiological data suggest possible transmission of this PA E23K mutant virus among humans, although its growth capability relative to that of the wild-type virus was reduced. Therefore, baloxavir susceptibility monitoring of influenza viruses is essential.

Keywords: Influenza; baloxavir; cap-dependent endonuclease inhibitor; resistance.
